Chapter three.
Trapped in a world of her own, distraught and alone she continued to cry as she sat in front of her recently deceased mother lying there unrecognizable on the floor. Hearing her name echo in her head she was pulled back to the real world as she felt a hand being gentle placed on her shaking shoulder. "Zara, it's me Addy." She nodded slightly telling her that she heard. Addy pulled Zara in a tight hug in an attempt to comfort her. Only just, through her water filled eyes, was Zara able to see the figure of 10K standing in the door way unaware of what to make of the situation before him.
10K, loitering in the doorway, turned to see Warren, Vasquez and Murphy. He left the girls toe them aware of the situation. "Hey, guys," He began as he tried to find the right words, "Something happened." He proceeded to tell them how they managed to loot every ward and was surprised to see that Kira and Zara were still in their first Ward. With their guns ready they entered only to see Zara crying on the floor on her own. Realising what happened Addy attempted to head over and comfort her.
Back in the room Addy, still hugging Zara, began to calmly talk to her. "Hey… Zara, I know you don't want to but we've got to get going. We have the medicine that your brother needs and we have to get them to him." Addy explained, "We can bury her if you'd like." She suggested as they both began to stand up. Zara said nothing but nodded her head. Seeing Warren and the others come round the corner she smiled weakly and headed out of the room. Willingly Vasquez picked up Kira's limp body and followed Zara out of the hospital.
Returning to the house Vasquez, 10K and Murphy entered the house to give Doc the medicine whilst Warren, Addy and Zara remained outside to bury Kira. Placing their version of a tomb stone on the newly made mound Warren and Addy shared a glance before returning to the house leaving Zara to her thoughts.
"What's the plan then?" Vasquez asked once they all assembled in the dining room.
"We have to let them come with us." Addy exclaimed, "There's no way their gonna survive out there on their own."
Murphy, sat on the arm of the chair, inputted his opinion. "Let's be honest here, can we really handle an extra two more people? Especially since their kids."
Addy's newly formed face of disgust turned to confusing as Vasquez pitched in his idea, "For once I agree with Murphy. This isn't a mission to be bringing kids on."
"We can't just leave them on their own!" Addy protested, "Besides they're not useless."
"Listen," Warren softly ordered, "Addy's right."
"Thank you."
Then Warren continued, "But so are they. We can't risk the lives of any more people for the sake of Murphy."
Thinking that he should say something 10K decided that it was his turn to speak. "How about we tell them what we're doing and if they still wanna come with us then who's stopping them. They'll know what's at risk."
"The kid's right." Not realising that he was there all faces turned simultaneously as they heard Doc's voice. Standing up straight after leaning on the door frame he reported, "Um… I've patched the kid up and he's starting to wake up."
"I'll go get Zara." Addy said leaving the room and heading outside.
Everyone was in the room when Noah started to emerge. Looking down towards her little brother Zara smiled seeing his eyes begin to open. "Hey buddy," She spoke with a soft comforting voice. "How are you feeling?" She asked placing a hand on his back as Noah began to sit up and hug his sister.
"Better." Noah turned to face Doc, "Thank you Doc." He said with a beaming smile on his face. It only lasted for a second for he scanned the room to find that his mother was not there. "Where's Mummy?"
Her face, returning to the expression it showed earlier, looked directly at Warren. "Could you please give me and my brother sometime alone?"
"Of course." Warren replied. Leaving the room the group followed leaving Zara alone with Noah. Before he left the room however 10K turned around to see Noah being pulled into a hug by his sister as he saw her eyes beginning to well up again. Pulling the door behind him he left the two alone.
"Umm… Noah. Mum's not… here anymore." She explained looking at her brothers confused face. "She saved my life. Noah I'm so sorry." Looking towards the floor trying to hold her tears she felt the small hands of Noah touch hers, causing her to face her now teary eyed brother in the face.
"Zara. It wasn't your fault." He explained, "If it wasn't for me getting in the way you wouldn't have had to go into the hospital to get medicine…." The two remained in the room reassuring each other that neither of them we at fault. Forty-five minutes later Zara returned to the Dining room where everyone had patiently waited.
Addy stood up from her chair and pulled Zara into a hug. "Where's Noah?" She asked calmly.
"He's asleep at the moment." She replied being released from the hug.
Addy, leading Zara to a chair, nodded at Warren who began to explain their proposition that would affect the lives of everyone there.
